Legally speaking racial profiling isn't allowed in Canada. Practically it is another matter. A lot of the racism is subtle and hidden in Canada. You really don't notice until you go out to bars, restaurants and stores and see how people of different colours get treated for the exact same thing. J

But it's ok for the Charter of rights and Freedoms to discriminate against white males right? S15 allows for affirmative action. Really fair.
